About Fridley Girl Scouts
At Girl Scouts, girls discover who they are, what they’re passionate about, and what they want to achieve in the future—all in a unique, all-girl environment designed to help them reach their full potential. They form lasting friendships, connect with people in their communities, and turn ideas into action.
Fridley Girl Scouts serves more than 63 girls in grades K-12. Each of our 8 troops are as unique as the girls they serve, and through our program, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, girls develop a strong sense of self, display positive values, and seek challenges at every turn.
There is no one way to be involved in Girl Scouts or to run a troop, and we challenge you to compare two vests, smocks or sash with the exact same badges and patches. You will not find one that is identical to the other, which is what makes being in Girl Scouts so amazing. Girls can learn and try NEW things on their own or with their Girl Scout Troop.

Girl empowerment
Girl Scout Daisies have lots of energy, and love to play, explore the outdoors, and create things. Even at these younger grades, we promote Girl-led Programming, or empowering girls with choices whenever possible. For Daisies, this often means letting them choose the awards they'll work on that week, and letting them choose between field trip options.
